The main claim put forth by those in favor of accepting an infinite amount of genders is that gender is simply a social construct, so therefore there are an infinite amount of genders. This claim seems illogical because if gender is a social construct, it follows that the only valid genders are those which have been socially constructed. 

The only genders which seem to be accepted by society are men and women, and at this point it might also be correct to include non-binary in that list. By this logic, the only pronouns that are valid are: he/she/they.

Furthermore, if gender is a social contract this means that you do not simply get to pick and choose your own gender. Society deems what gender you are because gender is a social construct in the first place. I do not think many would admit this, but I think that this is how most people who accept trans-genderism as a concept actually operate. Trans-people who look like the gender they claim to be are believed by many to be that gender, but no one believes a 6’ 2” guy with a mustache and giant muscles is actually a woman even if he says he is.

This is also proven by the fact that to be accepted as trans by even the left wing, people must first change the way they dress, go on to hormones, and are even encouraged to get a “gender affirming” surgery when gender apparently has nothing to do with physical attributes, but it clearly does because the social construct of gender draws from customs and physical sex. With the understanding that gender is a social construct, a man must be masculine, a woman must be feminine, and if non-binary is a socially acceptable identity they must have a certain level of androgynity to be non-binary. 

This is what the social construct argument actually says, but it seems like many on the left have drawn conclusions from this argument that are illogical.
